In short
The man who introduced plans for a new AFL stadium in Hobart says “it’s obvious” the timeline to have it ready by the start of the 2029 season won’t be met.
Peter Gutwein says any delay to the project would provide an opportunity for the state’s north to host more matches in the meantime.
What’s next?
The AFL has been contacted for comment on whether it would consider reviewing the deal, which outlines financial penalties if a stadium is not delivered on time.
